Recipe's preparation

  1. Insert butterfly into TM bowl and add all the ingredients. Cook for 8 minutes at 80C on speed 3.

  5. Preheat the oven to 210C


     

  6. Place butter, oil, water, sugar and salt in the TM bowl. Cook for 15 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 1.

  7. Add flour and mix for 5 seconds on speed 3.

  8. Scrape down extra flour and mix for additional 2 seconds on speed 3 to make sure it’s mixed.

  9. Transfer dough to 23cm tart tin with a removable bottom. When the pastry has cooled a little, pat it into the tin with the heel of your hand and use your fingers to press it up the sides of the tin. Reserve a small piece of dough for patching.


     


    Prick the pastry all over with a fork then bake the tart shell in the oven for 15 minutes or until the shell is golden brown.


     

  10. Remove from oven and if there are any sizeable cracks, fill with the reserved dough.


     

  11. Let the shell cool before filling.

Tip

If you want an additional sweet fix, you can prepare meringue (see EDC) using the 3 unused egg whites. Pipe on the tart and cook for 5 - 8 minutes at 200C
